damn dude, i envy you and your set up along with the collection of putters. i, along with everyone else, wish my dad or myself own a golf eq. shop. that would be too cool.

like your bag........how much did you get it for or what's the retail, if you don't mind.

i have the same fw. i only have the 5 fw but i'm planning on getting the 3 soon. do you like the v-steel fws? i'm soon turning into a TM fan myself. however, for all other sport, i've always been a nike fan and that's what i recently purchased for next summer, returned it for the rac os 2. the original set up i was going to go with was nds irons, ignite driver/wood. cpr hybrid, and a nike or ping putter. but i opt out of that set up and decided to go with the TM line anyways. i beleive you have the rescue mid right? how do you like that? i'm planning on getting one myself.

since you are a collector of putters, what do you think of the nike vs ping?

thanks for the input................i envy you and your set up!

Hermes,

I assume you are referring to the TM staff bag? It goes for $349. I got it for a bit less thru one of dad's connections.

I really like the V-steel fw woods - I have the 3, 5, and 7 woods. I think they have a very nice feel.

The Taylor MAde hybrid that I have is the Rescue Dual - the one that has the moveable weights. It's probably my favorite TM club, next to the the R7 driver. By far my favorite hybrid that I've ever hit. I just feel like I can hit it exactly how I need to hit it - it oozes confidence.

I wouldn't call myself a putter "collector" - there are far more people on here that have putter collections. I just like putters so I have alot, but not really many of mine are really worth alot. I personally am not a huge fan of Nike putters though. But putters are SO personal. I am a huge fan of Big Oak putters and Dave is a great guy to work with. He made my Big Oak Havana for me, and I have a Big Oak/Balanced Certified B3 putter with the new UST Frequency Filter shaft that will be waiting at my house when I get home today according to UPS tracking! It's the probably the only putter that has a chance to chase my Havana out of my bag anytime soon.

But take my opinion and everybody elses for what they are - opinions. Play whatever you like and feels good to you.

so the irons are a very forgiving set?

If you can find a set of the original rac OS you'd be getting a great deal. I've both and don't notice a real difference between the two.

i heard that the nike slingshot irons are a good and comparable set with the rac os 2? what's the biggest difference?

the OS2 are a very easy set of irons to use. my friend had a set custom fit and even though they were D4 and made 1/2" over standard, i had no problem hitting them extremely straight. two notes: they seemed to show wear rather quickly, i'd say faster than my LT2 set. secondly, they, as are pretty much all oversized irons, were hard for me to hit from the long grass. all in all a very nice set. be prepared for some strong lofted short irons and pick up a gap wedge.
